Now THAT is how you do an FPP about some silly thing you found on the internet.posted by rokusan at 5:45 AM on October 5, 2009

I really like Pornstar vs. Potato. Kind of weird that I scored well. Do you hear that, internets? Even your sarcastic fake quizzes cannot best me!posted by Solon and Thanks at 5:45 AM on October 5, 2009

But I'm grateful you did, mal, and let me simply add "or Both?"posted by wendell at 5:46 AM on October 5, 2009

Man, those Mental Floss people don't understand what a radio button is for, do they?

malevolent, your quiz was great fun! I also love the Porn Star or My Little Pony. The Star Trek quiz was disappointing--not enough villains from the original series (too many TNG references).posted by misha at 6:05 AM on October 5, 2009

I've always been fond of "Star Wars character name or NPR announcer/reporter name".posted by orthogonality at 6:09 AM on October 5, 2009

Thanks. Now I'm going to go through this day with the phrase "pornstar or potato?" crushing any ability I have to be or look serious.posted by Lipstick Thespian at 6:17 AM on October 5, 2009

The economy was tough all over. Even porn stars were left to desperate measures. A blonde, a redhead, and a brunette porn star went into a farm to steal some chickens. Unfortunately for them, the police were nearby and heard them and came in to the chicken coop. The girls quickly jumped into three sacks so they wouldn't be seen.

One policeman kicked the sack with the redhead, and she said "meow" pretending to be a cat.

He kicked the second one with the brunette, and she said "woof" pretending to be a dog.

When he kicked the third sack with the blonde, she said "potatoes."posted by netbros at 6:21 AM on October 5, 2009 [3 favorites]

Perfume or Marvel Supervillain ended up being kind of an allfuck, actually. There are just too many perfumes out there to make a definitive list (and when I wrote it, a definitive list of Marvel supervillains was also not available that I could find). I'm not sure that quiz was accurate ten years ago, much less now.posted by lore at 7:36 AM on October 5, 2009 [1 favorite]

Steak House or Gay Bar

Well, at least I got 'House of Prime Rib' correct.posted by scrutiny at 7:47 AM on October 5, 2009

Lesbian or German Lady? reminds me of a game my daughter and her friends would play when they saw a young well-dressed man in the US: "Gay or European?"posted by MtDewd at 8:07 AM on October 5, 2009

Ding! Ding! Ding!seriously people add a mute button that worksposted by jeffamaphone at 9:49 AM on October 5, 2009

I'd gotten this far in life without seeing amputee porn. Can we get a new warning tag, like [NSFW], like [NSFWBIAP]?posted by fatbird at 9:57 AM on October 5, 2009

I would probably like this is porn didn't completely squick me in a non-porn contextposted by kathrineg at 10:24 AM on October 5, 2009

Dude it was just someone with less than one leg in some undies. It's nothing to get worked up about. We all have different bodies.posted by kathrineg at 10:25 AM on October 5, 2009

We all have different bodies.

I absolutely agree. I was squicked out less by the absence of part of her leg, and more by sampling a weirdly well-serviced subgenre of the porn industry.posted by fatbird at 10:37 AM on October 5, 2009

This is why I stay out of the kitchen.posted by mazola at 12:07 PM on October 5, 2009

steak house or gay bar (i got the first 10 i saw correct) was a lot easier than serial killer or computer programmer. (proper names or abbreviations of such are generally steak houses)posted by mrgrimm at 1:15 PM on October 5, 2009

Whenever my friend and I go to gay bars, we usually end up playing, "Cop or Military?"posted by NemesisVex at 1:32 PM on October 5, 2009

"Cop or Military?"

of course the guys IN the cop or military outfits are really middle-managers and pet store owners.posted by The Whelk at 1:37 PM on October 5, 2009 [1 favorite]

Man, those Mental Floss people don't understand what a radio button is for, do they?

I used to check their quizzes all the time. Since they have moved to the nerve wracking one question per page format, I avoid them like the plague. A shame, really.posted by Avelwood at 5:24 PM on October 5, 2009
